Is Vaseline safe for dog paws in winter, or is Invisible Boot better?

Sawyer may develop a bit of diarrhea and/or vomiting but it should resolve quickly. You can buy protective booties to use on walks or you can use a paw cream such as Musher's Secret. It is a safe cream for pets and works great. You can order it online or buy it at most pet stores.

Vaseline is ok to use in limited amounts. We don’t want him licking and consuming much. If you choose to use it please apply a small amount and then feed him or otherwise entertain him until it soaks in. Also be aware that he will have some greasy foot prints which may cause a problem on carpet so be careful! Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Vaseline is safe to use but if you want something more natural then the ResQ skin treatment is all natural and would be fine to use to apply to the paw pads until resolved. If the paw pads begin to look swollen or show any signs of infection (pus, etc.) then I would recommend having Snowball examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hello, thank you for your question about Dahlia. Vaseline is non-toxic to dogs and can help moisturize their feet/paw pads. If Dahlia has cuts or has traumatized her paw pads I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian to ensure that they do not require more aggressive treatment with antibiotics. Hope this helps!

You need to get Bella to get used to the booties. eventually she will tolerate them. Do not give her a chance to remove them. Making her move when she wears them. Start going out for short periods of time, slowly extending the walk time. You can try to also put vaseline on her paws, but it is likely that she will try to lick off the vaseline as, like the booties, it is a foreign body".

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, you can use petroleum jelly on paw pads. This can help to moisturize the paw pads if they are dry or callused. Some dogs try to lick it off, however, so I would recommend being conservative with it and only apply a very thin amount. I hope this helps!

Great question! I recommend Musher's Secret, it's a safe paw wax that helps protect a dog's paws in winter. You can get it off the internet or possibly in a pet store. Another option is booties. Some people put booties on their dogs for walks outside to protect them against the snow, ice, and salt on the roads and sidewalks. Some dogs are fine with the booties while others absolutely hate them, so Musher's Secret would be your best bet to try first. Good luck, I hope this helps!
